Who thinks LA King coach Crawford is the next coach to get the ax?

Probably not. He is a good coach and the expectations in LA are not high.
I think Tom Renney better get his troops going or they might make a change.

I think Crawford is safe for this year at least. They have an awful lot of youngsters there, as well as new recruits. Plus their goaltending is an issue and everybody within the LA organization knows that.
I believe that Crawford will be given the time to try and make this a playoff team. I think that another year at least is required for them to develop chemistry.

Probably not, they're still a young team, and are just going through some growing pains. Th organization understands that, so they'll be willing to cut them some slack. My guess would be Edmonton's MacTavish, 'cause Lowe spent WAY too much money on Penner for them to stink again. Or possibly Gretzky, if they ever get the guts to fire "the great one", he's an aweful coach.

Probably not as the team is not expected to do that well so the leash will be a little longer. If the supposed powerhouses in the east ( Pitt and NYR) continue to have a losing record by December Renney or Therrien may be in trouble. Therrien was close last year.
